Evidence Based Medicine and Social Investigation Conference

Vancouver, British Columbia

With many regrets, we are forced to postpone this summer 2014 EBMSI conference. We hope to stabilize our financial situation in time to organize a conference for 2015. If you need advice with a case, please leave a comment and someone will get back to you.

We are pleased to announce our fourth annual E.B.M.S.I. conference, designed for both families falsely accused of child abuse and professionals and paraprofessionals who work with child abuse cases. The faculty includes physicians and attorneys, expert witnesses and advocates, and social service professionals. These experts come ready to work with and learn from each other and the attendees.

The conference curriculum covers the fundamentals of evidence-based medicine and its role in improving how investigators and decision makers handle suspected abuse cases. The goal is to help child protection services truly meet the needs of children and their families and to help the legal system handle these difficult cases more justly.

Topics include:

The evolving child abuse medical literature

Medical mimics of abuse

Defending against abuse allegations in both family and criminal court

The standards and guidelines for child protection investigations and process

The challenges of creating a bureaucracy to handle family matters

The faculty includes:

Physicians from a variety of specialties

Neurosurgery

Pediatrics

Forensic pathology

Neuroradiology

Biomechanics experts

Veteran defense attorneys

Social services professionals

Parents who have survived the system
